Does telnet support creating server sockets?  No.  
Does telnet support IPsec?  No.
Does telnet let you specify the tcp window size? No.
Does telnet come with a massive selection of options for insecure login / 
authentication?  Yes.

Telnet is a tool for insecure remote access.  nc is a tool for creating and 
debugging socket connections.

'nc -v' is less to type than 'telnet' and provides *more* debugging support via 
-D.

What about it?  We provide a tool that *is designed for creating and debugging 
sockets*.  You instead want a tool for insecure remote login that happens to 
sort-of work for creating and debugging sockets and your justification for 
wanting it is that you can use it for debugging sockets.
